Alright so far so good. I setup a jenkins job to build this for me. So 
far working like a dream.

wget 
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEV/SRPMS/rhev-agent-2.3.16-3.el5.src.rpm
mkdir -p build/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
rpmbuild --define "_topdir $WORKSPACE/build" --rebuild 
rhev-agent-2.3.16-3.el5.src.rpm

Any chance of an 'official' build ending up in the EPEL for anyone else 
who may desire this?
